Josey - i LABOR IS SURE T0 GOME 10 ITS OWN John Haynes Holmes Says the Time Will Come for Industrial Disputes to Go. TELIS OF RULE OF BARONS *“The industrial despot of the Rockefeller type must surely as the despot who ruled in the | political world by ‘divine right' has gona,” sald John Haynes Holmes, Unitarian lecturer of New York, in his address to.the Commertial club At a public affairs luncheon at noon, “*In the political world all through ' Aistory we had despots who ruled by divine right, so-called. Here and there in the pages of ancient history we find thatia ‘benevolent despot’ ruled. By a'benevolent despot they simply referred to a king who hyl some chance had a vislon, and ruled with some wisdom for the good of | his people. Just so today we have | the benevolent despot in the persons ©f Henry Ford and Patterson of the Cash Register fame.

To my mind, however, | it Is not a solution at all. These ‘be- nevolent despots’ of the industrial world cannot live forever, any more than the benevolent despots of the political history | of anclent lands Uved forever. When they | pass on thelr sons or heirs will take hold | of the managemont, and there s no guar- | anty whatever that the business will m.j conducted along the same benevolent that begins at the top and works flown-i ward, I have more faith In the revolu- tion that begins at the bottom and works upward. I have more faith in the revolu- tion that begins in the sentiment of the workers who suffer at the hands of the industrial despot. *“The establishment of trades unions, the closed shop, and all that, is nothing more than the fight for democracy in The speaker declared that democracy ' has galned such a hold in England that conscription there will come only on the terms the labor people will dictate. ““There they have a silly little puppet,” he #aid, “a tailor's model, who aits in Buckingham palace and wears the braid s a kind of symbol of the government, | but he has absolutely no power except ‘What the cabinet gives him, and the cabl. met gives him only what the people allow | the cabinet to give him.

The apeaker cited what he termeq the ' ridiculots *ltuation - of - Rockefeller Practically ocontrolling Colorado and calling the United States itself to time in the big strike situation of a few Years ago. ‘“When the situation grew serious,” sald the speaker, “the presi- dent of the United States sent an am- bassador. to ‘call on - King Rockefeller Just as exactly as he would send an am- bassador to call at the court of a forelgn land. And that ambassador had 0 knbck ‘on’ the door of the Rockefeller m’:’“ nr::ly as he would at the a ign king.

Crandall will be the guest of honor. Prof. Crandall Is retir- :nc after forty-one years of active teach- ng. As a testimonial of thelr regard for him, the graduates of the College of Civil Engineering have raised a fund of $3,000 Which will be formally presented to the university at the banquet, the income to be used to furnish prizes for specially #00d work by undergraduates on sub- Jects assigned by Prof. Crandall. Prof. Crandall's influence, it is asserted, has been stamped on American engineer- ing during the last four decades, His experiments on bridges carrying fast trains have contributed vastly to knowl- ©dge and In geodesy his work is far in advance of ‘any similar work. He is a membher of many learned socloties. Grad- uates of his courses fill high posfions in the engineering world. Speal at the New York banquet will be Presldent J. G.
